River quilt, step 5

When I woke up I realized I had the wrong blues -- too rosy. The river is supposed to slice through, but it should look like it belongs in the same quilt. My river was a little off, so I moved toward green-blue. Now it all flows.

It took several days of trial & error to get this far. I wonder & cut & then reject several fabrics for each little part. I was fussing over how long it takes me. Picasso would have had this done already! "What's the hurry?" Clark asked. He's right--especially since I love the process.
